gratuitous use of new stolen icon

i snagged this icon from dr_memory. i am loving it.

also, http://flickr.com/photos/rmd1023/376459527/ and http://www.joeandmonkey.com/index.php?comic=694 are appropriate, here.

*sigh* yesterday was an embarassing day in boston.

not really a recipe post

brown a large onion and some garlic in olive oil, with a bit of butter and hot oil for flavoring. add a bunch of cut up chicken breast and some penzey's spice blend (cajun seasoning, iirc). cook it up for a while. add some white beans, some black beans, some water, and some chicken "better than boullion" (i didn't have broth around). let it cook for a while. add some pasta to suck up a bit of the liquid and make it more stew than soup. let simmer.

what is it? no idea, but it's tasty.
